Pictures

Gareth, pictured here as the Amazing Bjaaland, is a performer, musician, rigger and bus freak. He is currently driving around the world with a mob from Western Australia called Lunar Circus, headed by the illustrious Fatt Matt Yates. He began his career in circus as a boy, performing street shows around the Northern Rivers. Gareth possesses formidable skills in various circus disciplines including; hand-balancing, acrobatics, head balancing and juggling. He also plays guitar, banjo and fiddle like a demon. Gareth is known for his work with the group Circus Monoxide and for his odd-ball comic characters. Gareth would like it known that he doesn’t always wear women’s swimming costumes on backwards - in fact he sometimes likes to wear them forwards as well.
